((In this chapter I'm going to go over a few basics (a few of which will foreshadow what's going to happen, or maybe they won't! You never know.), so please read carefully… Disclaimer: I do NOT own HP, nor any of the characters. I am NOT JK Rowling. Enjoy! ))

"Fred, it's not working!" Hermione growled at him over his shoulder, "Any idiot with a stirring rod knows that when a potion bubbles and foams it's overheated! It shouldn't be bubbling over, Fred!"

"Hermione!" George looked at her with large eyes, "Did we come to you for help or was it the other way around?"

"I just don't want you making a mess!" Hermione groaned and paced back and forth in the kitchen. "Molly Weasley will kill me…"

"Why?" Harry waltzed in, black hair spiked up.

"Because Fred is going to have this potion everywhere," Hermione answered him with a scowl.

"And I'll go get the Midol," Harry smirked and turned on his heel.

"HARRY!" Hermione bellowed, face crimson, "Say that one more time and I will smash your head in!"

"Ooh, entertainment before breakfast," Severus walked in past Harry who was now pinned to the wall with Hermione looming over him.

"MURDER! There will be murder in this household, Potter, and you won't be the one with the red hands!" Hermione shrieked before she stormed out of the kitchen and there was a crash, followed by the howls of one upset Ms. Black.

"MUDBLOOD! MUDBLOODS AND TRAITORS IN MY HOUSEHOLD! MUDBLOODS!"

"SHUT UP, YOU BITCH!" another crash.

"HOW DARE YOU, MUDBLOOD! PICK ME UP! NOW!"

"YOU WISH!" Hermione yelled before a door was slammed.

George winced, "That's going to leave a mark."

Fred smirked, "More than a mark."

"Women," Harry grinned.

"What's her problem anyway?" Severus frowned and grabbed a large bottle of wine from the refrigerator and poured a glass.

"God knows," Fred smirked and stirred the potion a bit more, foam pouring down the sides of his cauldron.

"You're going to get Molly upset doing that," Severus said as he sipped his wine.

"I know…"

"I think that's why Mio went all demon bitch," George smirked at his brother.

"Well I'm not the one cleaning up the mess."

"Hermione is," George grinned.

"And that is exactly why she got pissed off, like I care, though," Fred chuckled and added a few things.

"You're making Veritaserum… Why?" Severus narrowed his eyes and neared Fred.

"Oh no, it's a side version of Veritaserum. Completely legal, I promise you," George said quickly.

"We invented it, though."

"We're potions geniuses."

"No you aren't! You're fools!" Hermione walked back in, face red, golden hair flying behind her as she swept quickly past Severus and grabbed Fred's shirt, jerking him up. "You don't know what you're doing, and I will be damned if I have to clean up this mess. Leave it to me!" She shooed them off before she sat down where Fred had been sitting and repaired the damage he had made to the potion.

"Whatever, but may I remind you that you don't know-"

"I know more than you do, so put a lid on it and go off somewhere else," Hermione scowled at him.

"Fine…" Fred looked a bit disappointed, but he shrugged it off and headed for the door.

"Freeze, Mr. Weasley," Severus muttered. Fred wheeled around. "You're going to clean up the mess you made so that Miss Granger doesn't have to do so."

"I am?" Fred smirked at him and shifted, arms crossing.

"Oh, of course, Mr. Weasley," Severus appeared amused by Fred's attitude. "You're staying here with your brother and Miss Granger and you're going to finish what you started. Potter, out," Severus walked for the door, grabbing Harry by the back of the neck and squeezing as he walked by.

"OW, OKAY! I'm going!" Harry followed him out and shut the door.

"Hmph," Hermione stirred.

"All right… It's almost done," George gave them an evil grin, green eyes sparkling.

"Yes, my creation! Muwahahaha!" Fred beamed.

"Idiots," Hermione smirked and took out a wooden spoon, which she shifted the liquid around with until it was thick. She leveled it out into three phials and then handed two to the boys and kept one for herself.

"Bottoms up!" George exclaimed before everyone got ready to take a shot. Before they could, however, a bubbling sound came from the cauldron.

"Fred…" Hermione frowned. She screamed as the potion exploded and she was blasted back. She landed on Fred hard and grabbed a handful of his shirt as she felt herself spinning hard and fast. George had latched onto Fred as well, feet flying as they swirled around in something vast and silvery-green.

They landed hard in the Black Lake at Hogwarts. A giant splash was made as all three went in at different angles, Fred feet first, followed by George head first, and Hermione on her rear in a sort of awkward sitting position.

Hermione quickly realized that she was nude. She fought to cover herself, eyes wide as she reached the surface. She reasoned that neither Fred, nor George could see her through the dark water, and she noticed that they both weren't wearing shirts, so she guessed that they too were without lower body clothing.

It took a few moments for them to figure out where they were, but the gazing students who were gasping and whispering gave their location away. A few giggles came from what looked like a female Draco Malfoy who was gathering closer to a girl who looked like Pansy Parkinson.

Fred frowned and glanced down before he went beet red and understood what they were laughing about. He covered his privates with his hands, as did George.

A redheaded girl walked along the shore with what the three guessed was her best friend, and they quickly recognized him to be a young Remus Lupin. Hermione gasped and ducked under the water before she swam towards the shore, but deep enough so that no one could see them.

"HEY! HEY!" she called to the two. Fred and George swam towards her with one quick glance at each other.

Remus turned around and his eyes grew wide, "Hey, Lily, look!"

"Hmm?" Lily turned around and gasped. "Oh my!" she ran up the shore towards Hermione. "Are you all right?"

"Erm… We had a little accident, and we need some clothes," Hermione frowned up at Lily. Lily pulled off her outer cloak and put it around Hermione so she could climb out of the water without being seen. She wrapped it around her.

"Here," Remus pulled off his outer cloak and then took out his wand and made a replica of the cloak before he handed each to Fred and George who were now shivering hard.

"Mione, where are we?" George turned, wide eyed to Hermione.

"WEASLEY!" Hermione screamed at Fred, face growing red again. "WHAT DID YOU DO!"

"I DON'T KNOW!" Fred exclaimed and ran as Hermione chased him across the grounds.

"Erm… Heh, please excuse us for a moment. We'll return your things," George went a bit red in the cheeks and then followed Fred and Hermione at a run.

Hermione ran into something and fell back on the ground, sprawling out. "Ooh, Fred, I'm going to kill you," she muttered under her breath and was just about to pull herself up when she felt herself being lifted. "Hey!"

"Relax, Merlin," a silky voice said. Hermione went white and turned around, blinking at a young Severus Snape. He was tall and handsome, his figure thin but arms strong. Hermione fainted.

((Yes, Hermione just caught on that they were sent back in time. I know she's a bit slow, but you would be slow as well if you had just landed your arse as hard as possible in the Black Lake. PLEASE REVIEW!))
